Most nights, I settle on the couch about 8 p.m. looking for a TV show to watch. My options are preposterously good—this is the Golden Age of Television, after all. Yet there I am, futzing with remotes, launching apps and scrolling past show after show until they all blur together. Then I watch “The Office” for the umpteenth time.

Why keep heading back to Dunder Mifflin? Because finding something better requires three remotes, a couple of set-top boxes and half a dozen apps including Hulu, Netflix and HBO Go.
